A PROJECT to transform a collection of cottages on the Longleat Estate near Warminster into luxury retreats has revealed their fascinating history. A total of six properties, many dating back to the 18th century, are being turned into exclusive rural escapes with the first three set to be available for bookings from April. As part of the renovation project, a team of archivists have researched the heritage of each of the properties and uncovered their intriguing history and the lives of the people who lived in them over the centuries. Jon Timney, director of estate, said: “As well as offering luxurious accommodation in a stunning setting, we also wanted to explore and reflect each of the properties’ unique story.

Work on an innovative outdoor learning nursery for pre-school children will get underway at Aberdeen’s Duthie Park later this month.
Preparatory work will commence on Monday 29 March at the park’s East Lodge which will be the hub for the ground-breaking project.
The pilot project is part of Aberdeen City Council’s £23 million investment transforming nursery settings across the city in preparation for expanded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) hours for children below school age.
Outdoor nurseries are being embraced nationally in the public and private sector as a part of a strategy informed by the success of the same approach worldwide.
